About Support and Privacy

What is “Supporting”?
Supporting a Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition but with the added power of simultaneously sharing a message. You and every other supporter are standing up for an idea with the power of your voice.

How do I support?
Choose between your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account to grant Thunderclap permission to post a message on your behalf. That’s it! If the campaign reaches its support goal by the deadline, Thunderclap will automatically post your message and all other supporters' messages at the same time.

A note on privacy
When you log into Thunderclap using your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account, you’re allowing our platform to share a single message on your behalf. That’s all. We use the absolute minimum permissions possible to post a message on your behalf. The platforms we integrate with sometimes include additional permissions that we do not use and we will not post anything from your friends' accounts.

"Another one bites the dust" was a common refrain for Medwin and I as we did our Christmas shopping this year. It was especially tough parting with our beloved Lindt chocolates, but they, along with so many other yummy foods & toiletries, needlessly contain palm oil.

Why? Because it's cheap.

Unfortunately, monetary savings for big companies come at a steep environmental cost. Grown in areas of poverty and corruption, palm oil is rapidly replacing virgin forests and driving species like Orangutans, tigers, elephants and rhinos to extinction; and it's responsible for 10% of greenhouse gas emissions!

But the silver lining is that for every product that we banned, we were able to find a sustainable alternative to replace it. Proof that this movement is growing, and that we can make a difference.

A few months ago when we heard Dr. Ian Singleton & the Sumatran Orangutan Society speak at Eden Project, a young girl in the audience asked, "Does it actually make a difference if we boycott palm oil?"

His response stunned us: it's the only thing that makes a difference. Whether we like it or not, money is power, and how we choose to spend our money is ultimately what shapes our world.

As 2017 draws to a close, we're truly excited about continuing our quest to be single-use plastic-free & palm oil-free in 2018! Will you join our challenge? It's easy!

Every month simply replace one product (food, cosmetics, etc.) with a palm oil-free and/or single-use plastic-free alternative, and write about it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #BloomtownEcoChallenge so we can follow everyone's journeys!

And at the end of every month, we'll pick one poster to feature and award a £25 Bloomtown Gift Card!
